when i need to shot birds on the move, then sitting still, can be handy i think, the k200 is a pain, thats why i use my k20 and not the k200,scottthehat wrote:

For me it's also an upgrade from a K10D so it's a much bigger step.

But Hefty has a K10D so going to a K-7 would be a bigger upgrade then from a K20D, I already see with the k20D some usefull option that I might use such as the AF adjustment.hefty1 wrote:

I don't think you will have much change out of a grand (Body Only) so it's a good job you are patient Heft.If it's as nice as it looks (and I've liked pretty much everything I've seen and heard so far) then I'll probably snap at around £600.

In the netherlands we didn't get the cashback offer shame on you Pentax, maybe this year we get lucky and you don't

Or else you if they thought about it you can use an USER mode with the SR off so just a turn of the button instead of flicking one.
For me it's also an upgrade from a K10D so it's a much bigger step.
btw, I wonder why they have 2 continuous mode?
Is that the special feature pentax was talking about
This also the first pro DSLR designed by HOYA right, the K20D was mostly a hardware upgrade.
